The application reuses the stored credentials whenever a requirement for them is encountered. A user

who configures a device that has had a credential stored is not required to re-enter the credential in

the application. The application uses the credential as a background operation in the HP Web

Jetadmin server’s steps to configure the device.

After a backup and restore, the content of the Credential Store is retained if the restore occurs on the

same machine with the same OS. If the restore occurs on a different machine or the OS is rebuilt

between the backup and the restore, all the credentials are lost.

NOTE Instructions and sample script files for the backup and restore procedures are in the following

HP Web Jetadmin installation directory:

C:\Program Files\HP Inc\Web Jetadmin 10\WJABackupRestore

Before HP Web Jetadmin sets the device credential, the software authenticates the user’s knowledge

of the credential. This is true in both the batch and single device configuration modes for password or

credential configuration. After a password or credential is successfully configured or changed, it is

added to the Credentials Store as an encrypted value.

Credentials delegation

With credentials stored, HP Web Jetadmin can apply them transparently any time the need arises.

HP Web Jetadmin uses these passwords or credentials during a live configuration or during

automated background tasks, such as scheduled firmware upgrades or configurations. When

configuring devices, users do not have to know the credential to perform the configuration. The user

just needs access to HP Web Jetadmin and the device configuration features. This is called credentials

delegation.

Credentials delegation is used to allow device configuration without having to share confidential

credential information across a large distribution. The IT staff can control and configure devices while

IT administrators control and configure passwords. Any user with access to devices and configuration

features has delegated access to the Credential Store.
